Key Principles

Temperature matters more than time. Green tea becomes bitter in boiling water regardless of steeping time.

Loose leaf tea generally needs 1 teaspoon (2-3 g) per cup with room to expand.

Tea bags steep slightly faster because the leaf is cut smaller, increasing surface area.

Multiple infusions: Oolong and pu-erh can be steeped 3-5 times, adding 30 seconds each round.

Lösungsbeispiel

2 cups of loose-leaf black tea at 3 g per cup.

01Steeping time = 4 x 1 = 4 minutes
02Total tea = 2 x 3 = 6 g (about 2.4 tsp)
03Total water = 2 x 237 = 474 mL
04Use boiling water (212°F) for black tea.

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

Why is my green tea bitter?

Green tea becomes bitter when steeped in water that is too hot (above 180°F) or for too long (over 3 minutes). Let boiling water cool for 2-3 minutes before pouring, or use a thermometer. Steep for 1.5-2 minutes initially.

How do I measure water temperature without a thermometer?

After boiling, let water sit: 1 minute for about 200°F, 3 minutes for about 185°F, 5 minutes for about 175°F. These are rough estimates and vary by container and room temperature.

Can I reuse tea leaves?

Yes. High-quality loose leaf tea, especially oolong, pu-erh, and white tea, can be steeped multiple times. Each infusion reveals different flavors. Add 15-30 seconds to each subsequent steeping.
